[gdal-dev] Call for discussion on RFC 60: Improved round-tripping in OGR

[Kurt Schwehr]

Placeholder for we I or anybody else gets time to work on metadata
driver(s).

https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/6154

Doug,

If you have any key example files that would work well for test coverage,
feel free to attach them to the ticket.  I know we need a pretty wide range
or a driver will just frustrate people.  BAGs are all I'm really familiar
with, and I know their embedded iso xml is very different than others I was
shown when I when to a metadata workshop back 5 ish years ago.
